Irotter's Rejection.

The Republican Senators apparently do
not intend that a negro who is a Demo-
crat or q Mugwump shall have the Office
OF Recorder of Deeds for the District Of
Columbia. They refused to confirm
Matthews, the Albany, N. Y, colored
man who was first nominated for the
place, and now they have put the brand
of their condemnation on Trotter. They
might as well hang over the door of the
committee room OF the committee on the
affairs OF the District OF Columbia a pIa-
card with the words mo negro need APP
ply unless he is a Republican"
There were no charges made against
Matthews. His ability to fill the office
satisfactorily was not questioned. The
Republican Senators objected to him. it is
understood, because they regarded a
black Democrat as monstrosity. 1t IS
probable that they regard a black Mug
wump as a monstrosity, aud have re-
ported against Trotter's nomination on
that ground.
II the President insists on having COL
ored man for Recorder of Deeds tor the.
District, and as he is rather stubborn he
may Insist, let him nominate ex-senator
Bruce for the office, provided Bruce will
declare himself to be either a Democrat
or a Mugwump. Senatorial courtesy
may be sufficient to secure the confirma-
ton of his nomination. This seems to be
the Presidents only chance. First-class
black Mugwump or Democratic mate.

Savannah Should Have One.

There appears to be ample foundation
for the statement in our dispatches yes-
terday that certain Philadelphia and
Chicago capitalists have formed com
pany to build a dozen or more large
cotton seed oil mills in different parts OF
the South. 1t seems that the locations
for three OF these mills have been decid ed
upon. 1t 10 intimaued that the locations
for the others have also been agreed upon,
but that there are excellent reasons for
not making them public Al present. 1t
Is more than probable that the greater
part OF them are still unsolicited.
II they were settled upon. what passIble
reason could there exist for maintaining
secrecy with respect TO them more than
to the three which have been made
publics
Why wouldn't Savannah be a good
point for one or more Of the mills? 1t ia
said that the one that was here several
years ago, and was destroyed by fire, paid
handsome dividends. 1t would not cost
more to get cotton seed here from the in
terror than 1t would to get it at Atlanta,
or any other town, and the manufactured
products would find cheap transportation
10 market by an all water route.
Savannah needs more factories. EN-
ployment is required for the city's in
creasing population. II Savannah could
secure one of these projected mills it
might influence the location of other in
dustrial enterprises here. Why not make
an effort for one oil them? 1t is for the
business men of the city to take the lead
In the matter.

A Pro porous Railway.

! The stockholders Of the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway held their
annual meeting yesterday and. Judging
from the condition OF the compsny's busi-

which we publish in our local columns
this morning, it was a very satisfactory
one.
The extensions Of the compaty's rail-

deal TO the up-tuIidinZ OF Georgia and

Doubtless The extensions and improve

laws relating to railroads were more lib

laws the Savannah, Florida and Western

OF those having control of its affairs, has

The Speakershin.

There doesn't appear TO be any reason
10 dOub. that Mr.. Carlisle will be the
Speaker OF tins Fiftieth Congress. he 10
as popular now as ne was when be was
chosen Speaker OF the Forty-eighth Con-
gress. Doubtless the point will be made
against him that his seat being contested
he ought not 10 accept the Speakership,
because, occupying that Office, be will
have the power to largely influence the
decision in bis case. There will be no
difficulty, however, in finding a way to
secure the appointment Of q strictly i'm
partial committee on elections.
1t seems to be pretty well understood
that Mr.. Randall has been planning TO Sc
cure the Speakersnip for himself, and it
has been charged that he invited the cor
respondence with Mr.. Carlisle, relative to
the repeal OF part OF the tobacco tax,
with the hope OF alternating from him the
support OF those Democrats who want
this tax repealed. 1t Is also said that
Mr.. Randall has kept back the sppropria-
tiou bills with the hope OF forcing an ex-
ira session, believing that be would
have a better chance 10 secure the
speakership at such session
than at the regular session in December,
because of the supposed present strong
feeling OF hostility to Mr.. Carlisle on the
part of the Democrats who favor a repeal
OF the tobacco tax. These stateme nts
may be unjust TO Mir. Randall. but they
are circulated and believed TO be well
founded.
1t may be considered as certain that II
MIR. Carlisle wants the Office OF Speaker
again be can have it. The probability
that the protection Democrats will unite
with the Republicans to make Mr.. Ran
dali, or any other protection Democrat,
Speaker is hardly worth considering.
The Democratic caucus will select can.
dldate and all the Democratic mem bers
! Will have 10 support him.
The candidate, doubtless, will be Mr..
Carlisle. Personally there is no opposi-
ton to Mr., Carlisle on either side of the
House. He is perhaps the most popular
man that ever occupied the Speakers
chair. His popularity is due to his ability
and his fairness.

Two Pretty Women Whom Susceptible

In the reception room of the Senate every
afternoon may be found two OF the most beau
tiful women that have been seen in w ashing-
ton for many day. aud both OF them are lob
byists. One is a Gilmore widow, whose
husband was formerly in he customs service,
and IN the settlements of his accounts was

trying to get 1t through. The House has
passed the measure. and he senate G mmit-
tee on Claims has reported il in her favor.
But still the bill hangs, aud she is having a
great deal OF trouble getting it through.

always takes her to lunch when che will e.,

Gen. Lees Career reviewed.

MacMillan's Magazine for March has a
very interesting article on Gen. Lee, by
Gen. Lord Wolseley. Gen. Wolseley, il
will be rem EN- bered, was at Richmond a
part OF the time during the war between
the States, and had an excellent oppor-
tunity to form a correct opinion OF Gen.
Lee as a soldier and as a man.
He draws a comparison between him
and the great English soldier, Marlbor-
ough, and says that in many points they
resemble each other. They both pos
sessed charm of manner that was very
winning, both were dignified, handsome,
and in appearance commanding, and
both at the outset of their great Ca
reers OF victory were regarded as essen
TALLY national commanders. Each of
them was remarkable for daring courage
and a belief in an ever watchful Proyi-
dence.
Gen. Wolseley expresses the opinion
that If the COnfederates had followed up
their victory at Bull Run they would un-
doubtedy have gained possession of
Washington, but they were prevented
from doing that by political considera-
blOus at hicuInOnu WuiCu were permitted
10 outweigh military considerations.
Gen. Wolseey says that Gen. Lee
showed himself to be a great strategist
In all his combinations to secure victory,
and that his tactics were almost always
everything that could be desired up to
The moment OF victory. His action SEEM
ed to stop there. The South, he says, was
apparently many times within a stones
throw ofindependence, but failed to Sc
cure II for the want OF a thoroughly good
staff to organize the pursuit and prevent
the escape OF the enemy.
One great fault of Gen. Lees which
Gen. WOlseley points out was his dread
OF wounding the feelings of others. His
heart was too soft, and he permitted in
competent men to remain in responsible
positions to the injury of the cause. Gen.
Wolseley also thinks that Gen. Lee was
too supservient to the civil authorities
who were his superiors. Had he had the
power OF dictator the chances OF the
south's success would have been greatly
increased. Gen. W0lseley has no doubt
that when the history OF the war can be
calmly written 1t Will be generally adj
mitted by ali Americans that Gen. Lee
lowered above all men OF that struggle,
and that he will be regarded as the great
American OF the nineteenth century.
